The City of Beaufort is inviting proposals from local attorneys and law firms to serve as attorney for the City.
The attorney or law firm selected will be expected to provide a wide range of legal services required by a municipality, and must be a member of the South Carolina Bar Association. Beaufort City Council will select the attorney. The attorney will work closely with City Council, the city manager, and other Beaufort City staff.
Law firms or individuals interested in submitting proposals must submit eight complete copies of the proposal, along with a proposed contractual agreement, in a sealed envelope with the title “City Attorney Proposal” on or before 4 p.m. Friday, June 9.
If interested parties are mailing the proposal, they must address the packet to 1911 Boundary St., Beaufort SC 29902, and mark the envelope: CITY ATTORNEY PROPOSAL – ATTN: KAY MCINTYRE.
Once all proposals that meet the deadline are received, they will be screened, and the proposals will be provided to City Council for consideration. Candidate interviews are expected to be held the week of June 19-23. City Council will appoint a new city attorney on or about June 27.
